Yes, you are right: just now I noticed the attachement "ATT000001.txt" which contains the footer, but it is *not* displayed along with the message.

Talking about which, I am stuck with Outlook :( At least the 2003 version does not show those attachements as text below the normal message.

But even if it was displayed, I doubt very much that those people sending "unsubscribe" requests to this list would bother reading it. And ever since I am subscribed to this list these messages pop up every once in a while - ignorance lives forever :)

For people stuck with Outlook, I'd recommend "QuoteFix": http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/outlook-quotefix/
